More from Margaret Thatcher
"I do not believe in consensus politics. I believe in conviction politics."
"The purpose of politics is to serve the people."
"We are not asking for a hand-out, but for a fair chance to stand on our own two feet."
"I seem to smell the stench of appeasement in the air."
"There are still people who believe that the state should provide everything. They are wrong. The state provides nothing. It only distributes what others produce."
About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
